ence between Prince Bismarck and Signor
Crispj, the Italian prime minister, com
pletely overshadows int rest in tie re-
cent shooting affair on the frontier, Count
Herbert Bismarck left the foreign office
this afternoon for Buechen Junction to
receive Signor Crispi and accompany him
to Friederichsruhe The interview is -e-
garded as Of supreme Importance. 1t
has especial reference to the renewal OF
military convention between Italy, Aus.
tria and Germany. The alliance OF the
central powers with Italy on the Geno8n
policy WAS renewed for five years, but the
military convention for offensive and de
fensive purposes covered only six months
from March last to September. Wcle
Count KalnokY, Austrian Prime Minister,
was at FredricksTuhe, dispatch was
sent to Siguor Crispi asking whether he
was ready TO renew the convention.
Prince Bismarck also proposed sn eN en-
sion OF the period covered by the cOnven-
ton. Before Count kalnokY left, SignOr
Cfispi promised his support to movement
! for the extension OF the convention and
made arrangements to visit Prince Bis
marCk in order TO personally discuss the
/
! terview and must be hailed IS
an effective assurance of peace
for many months TO come. Another ques-
ton of special interest 10 the Italian gov
ernment will be negotiations With the
Vatican on terms Of reconciliation.
Within the present week, Diplomatic
ecti0n has become intensified over these
negotiations, end the knowledge that
Signor Crispi is coming to Friedricls-
ruhe.
Another project inst Bismarck is cred
tied with being DESTROYS Of discussing
with Siguor Ciispi is the g etiun of 8
central European I3liyefeiG, Including
Germany, AUrJria, itcly, SerYis and
Rounanis. The project appears imprac-
ticable il view If tne existing Internal
tariff dissensiou between Germany aud
Austria and between Austria snG R0um&-
mia, and yet the subject is treated gravely
by the semI-Cfiicigl press as both desire
Die and possible. 9hey hold il to be spe
cially desi. able as 9 tremendous "fGarC"

iZ9 the object which has long been the
ideal OF many eminent political
economists ana many practical states
men Ia Official circles il is believed
Prince Bismarck has already made over
lures TO Signor Crispi or Italy to Join the
proposed Zoliverein and nothing hss
transpired to show now the Italian gov
eminent appreciates the gigantic customs
union scheme. SiGn0r Crispt will remain
three days with Bismarck and Will after
wards go 10 Vienna to meet Count Kal-
, noky. The interviews are diplomatic
successes Of Prince Bismarck and must
gall the French and Russian govern
+ mentS. In connection with the ZOuVerein
project q significant semi-ofiiolal note
was sent from Pesth 10 the Geruan aud
Austrian press tonight. This says
